Details: New drone wreckage that appears to resemble Shahed drone fragments was found in the afternoon of 17 February near the village of Etulia Nouă în Moldova’s Vulcănești district.
“The information was passed on to the responsible officials, and access to the area where the drone wreckage was found has been restricted,” Moldova’s Border Police said.
The wreckage was found approximately 5 km from the village and 2 km from the Ukrainian border.
The area is located to the north of Lake Cahul, most of which is in Ukraine, roughly equidistant from the two Ukrainian cities of Bolhrad and Reni, Odesa Oblast.
Background:
- Part of a downed Shahed drone with an unexploded warhead was discovered in a nearby area on Monday, 12 February.
- Dorin Recean, Prime Minister of Moldova, commented on the incident, saying that the radars currently in service in Moldova cannot detect Shahed drones, and the country needs to acquire a system capable of detecting all types of air threats in the future.
